Jean-Claude Van Damme Planning a Real Kickboxing Match

It is being reported that Jean-Claude Van Damme is working on a new project, a documentary about his training for a K-1 kickboxing match in Last Vegas. This new movie will lead up to Van Damme actually getting into the ring for a real fight.

He will face off against Somluck Kamsing, a 35 year-old Thai fighter, who was the 1996 Olympic Gold medalist in boxing at 126 pounds and also fought in both the 2000 and 2004 Olympics. Kamsing even appeared in the Asian version of the "Fearless" film, in which he has a fight scene with Jet Li.

Van Damme is currently trying to organize the fight for next Summer, but some are worried that the Nevada State Athletic Commission will never allow for the 48 year-old actor to face-off against a former Olympian. Stay tuned.

"the Nevada State Athletic Commission will never allow for the 48 year-old actor to face-off against a former Olympian"

That's a Maximum Risk he'll have to take. Van Damme may face Sudden Death, as Somluck Kamsing is something of a Hard Target. He's a real Street Fighter. Kamsing is known to use both his fists for Double Impact, and that may give van Damme a Death Warrant, leaving him Nowhere to Run.

It's a real Bloodsport, taking on a pro like Kamsing. Then again, we all know Van damme believes in No Retreat, No Surrender, so hopefully we'll get to see which one is a true fighting Cyborg. It's going to be a battle to the finish between two Universal Soldiers.

Yup, The Expendables would have been a much better choice. On the other hand, the dude does hold a professional record of 18-2 from his professional martial arts competition days. Those 18 victories were all KO! And he knocked out those 18 fools while he was blind, after his brother had been paralyzed, his girlfriend kidnapped, the other brother had been set on fire and had two or three other twin brothers who didn't like him! ... and then he killed Bison and saved the world...

WAH WAH WAH.....
Nice...

Im pretty sure Van Damme is going to get the living sh*t kicked out of him.. Hes like 900 years old...

@mink, thats f*cking hilarious that you have his entire library... BUT you didn't mention his best film.. DOUBLE TEAM...

f*ckin' dennis rodman... that movie was f*ckin excellent...

I love van damme... and his level of cheese, its exciting..

Has anyone seen JCVD? I thought it was really quite good... but now hes all c*cky and thinks hes meryl streep because of it... but still it was f*cking good.

'I love van damme... and his level of cheese, its exciting.' - well said trig. That's how I have pretty much defined JC. He's cheesy... his acting is non-existent. But we all still watch the guy. He has moves (the splits is pretty predictable - but we all wish we could do that). Same as Seagal - he sucks... but he's watchable.

@acslaterson + mink - you're right, he'd get his ass handed to him in the battle. He's grasping at straws. Someone here commented is would be the best way to go out. I disagree - leaving with your head knocked off, isn't the way to go. He should stay out of this. Stick to 'acting' - get in Expendables 2. If should have been producing all along (like Seagal), then JC would have some money (his salary sucks).

@Mink - nice post with the movies titles. I see the lazies on here, instead of contributing just throw in the 1-line jab against it. I hope they plan to make a better showing out there in the real world (but... I doubt it).

"Much less than you spend beating off to your mother's wedding photos..."

Bull f*cking sh*t. EVERY random day I come to check for news when bored at work or whatever...EVERY RANDOM DAY, this Minkowski dork posts in every single thread...every one. There HAS to be something better to do in life than F5 one random f*ckin' website. I know every site has one, but what a sad commentary it truly is.

I wonder if f*cks on AICN, here, Bloody Disgusting, etc. know that their credibility is next to nothing until they actually do something with their own lives.

Then, you f*cking whining moron dipsh*t, either don't read the goddamned comments or go somewhere else. No one puts a gun to your shriveled head and forces you to read the comments. No one.

'I know every site has one, but what a sad commentary it truly is."

The 'sad commentary' as you so eloquently phrase the situation, is you moaning about someone posting something you don't like.

Either join in, make some discussion, have something relevant to read you c*ckroach of a human being. You don't post sh*t unless you're f*cking crying. Either lurk or join in, but don't make yourself into a bloody raging p*ssy just ebcause you can't do the manly thing and ignore posts you don't like.

People like you are the sort of parasite that refuses to vote, but then bitches because your guy didn't get elected. f*ck off. Slink back to the shadows where you obviously belong.

"I wonder if f*cks on AICN, here, Bloody Disgusting, etc. know that their credibility is next to nothing until they actually do something with their own lives."

I wonder if f*cks such as yourself know that no one asks for your 'credibility'. We post because we enjoy it, not for you. Your arrogance in thinking *you* decide relevance and worth kills me. I decide my own credibility and worth, not you, not some flunky that doesn't contribute save to whine and moan.

Jesus, there are some incredibly stupid f*cks on the internet that think this is all here for them. They sit and silence, offering nothing, but thinking they can decide all. Like royalty.

Just die, ok? Because obviously you're as big fat zero in life as you are on the internet.

@october_midnight - I'm not picking sides (I'm really not). But even I posted on this thread, here, just today, and on another one yesterday and people STICKING TO THE TOPIC AT HAND. Mink has. You haven't.

You have OPTIONS:
1. Scroll past any/all posters you don't like.
2. Go to another thread.
3. Post relating to the topic at hand instead of personal attacks.
4.Leave the site.

I doubt you use the same approach to people in public that you do here with the safe anonymity of the Internet. That's cowardly. If you DO talk to (and not with) people in public like you have here, it's only a matter of time before you'd get your ass kicked.

So, as I'm off topic, and have made this personal, and you'll probably think I AM picking sides... whatever.

Meh, blah blah blah....I still know you're a loser. I'm out, time for work. I'll check back tomorrow to see if there's any news, etc. I'm sure you'll post on every thread like always. Enjoy your massive social life.

@PeterParker - JC does hold some records, but you'd be the first to admit they were held 100 years ago. JC deserves respect for his accomplishments. He's an athlete, he trains hard, he tries hard (sometimes), and he's a household name. But bringing out his competitive records out this late in the game is akin to Grandparents at the bus stop showing off pics of their grandchildren to some poor schmuck still there awaiting the same bus.

So says the guy hiding behind an anonymous name and avatar, who never posts anything but little girl bitching. Yes, October_midnight, you've definitely cornered the winner department here at WP. Good job.

"If you DO talk to (and not with) people in public like you have here, it's only a matter of time before you'd get your ass kicked. "

Actually, I do. People are bigger pussies in real life. Or bullies, and you can't bully anyone over the internet, so these loser control freaks like October_midnight and LostRose get frustrated they can't control everything. They have to beg the site owner to take action so they can manipulate the online world to their liking. Pathetic.

Most guys don't want to go to jail, ruining an otherwise clean criminal record, or take the risk the mean crazy guy in front of them might be serious about kicking ass. The guys to worry about are the big ex-cons that don't care about losing teeth and heading back to jail.

Most of the people on the internet are the shrewish, frightened people you see in real life that go out of their way to avoid conflict.

Anyway, the worst people can do to you is kill you, right? Or call you a loser. And you're going to die anyway, so f*ck it.

Mink... you, I and others have seen it before (even on this thread earlier)... those that can't keep up or have nothing to offer, and were sent out of their mother's basement, over-indulged with low self-esteem and self-worth, clearly have little to contribute.

So they strike out. I know it has less to do with the person they think they're attacking (pretty cowardly) then the reflected it is of their own unhappy lives. They feel trapped in their present situations, no authority, no power, so they lash out.

Were I standing next to them I can guarantee you they wouldn't use that tone. And if they didn't pick up on my 15 second tutorial on how to scroll (past a poster they didn't like), I'd feed them their mouse completely against their will.

As for JC, yeah, I'm a fan of his. Still think (know) he should have jumped onto the Producing wagon a couple of decades ago.

JCVD took the wrong path. He came over here with nothing and took up action roles because that was his asset, his martial arts skills or whatever, and he sort of just stayed there. He displayed far less Arnold's initiative to excel and broaden his ability, never mind that JC wasn't ever picked up by a Cameron, which made a huge difference in Arnold's career.

JC only got real when he got really, really hungry, when he exhausted his options as an action actor. Mind you, he really ran those straight to DVD releases into the ground. he got cornered, I think, and all he was left to portray was himself. It's sad he had to run on empty to get real. Now he thinks he can fly high on that empty gas tank, and maybe he can, for a while anyway, but eventually he's going to have to realize that the show isn't going to go on forever for him.

He should've taken the Expendables role, and I think that's going to come back to haunt him sooner rather than later.

"Mink... you, I and others have seen it before (even on this thread earlier)... those that can't keep up or have nothing to offer, and were sent out of their mother's basement, over-indulged with low self-esteem and self-worth, clearly have little to contribute. "

When I hear people, who never post, complaining about people like me and you and others that DO contribute, I wonder about their motivations. I think your explanation more than suffices. I know I'm often very, very harsh, but even in the past when I've toed the line and refrained from attacks, in the very beginning of my stint here, and instead made lengthy posts with rather well made points and ideas, I was still attacked. So I think you're right.

It comes down to them, these lurkers, lacking the ability to control the situation, a situation that makes them feel inadequate because they have zero to offer in the way of opinion and thought. The only way they can redeem their worth is by throwing out how much money they make or that they have to 'get back to work'. Gunslinger did the same thing, never posting anything but attacks on me. When he got his ass kicked he crawled off mumbling implicitly about his job at 7-11. Whatever. And they call other people losers, when all they've accomplished in life is a coffin of a job. I'd rather be homeless and have an opinion, a mind, than live their dead end shallow lives.

"As for JC, yeah, I'm a fan of his. Still think (know) he should have jumped onto the Producing wagon a couple of decades ago."

Absolutely, would have been the smart thing to do... Joining the expendables cast would have also been the smart thing to do... But then again he is afterall, a french man...

@october_midnight... Dont be such a p*ssy.. Minks not the most agreeable person online, but hes got a lot to say about movies and is great for discussion on pretty much any topic... Isn't that the point of this blog? Discussion on all things movies?... Or am I in the wrong place...

I've flat out told mink to f*ck himself, but thats not because there was one particular post that my little bitch ass didn't like, it sure as to hell wasn't because he posts on here too often.. it was because of a disagreement.. Where you're coming from is a cowardly place and you should be f*cking ashamed of yourself... Im on here constantly, rangers on here constantly.. and a handful of other guys frequent this place and respond to EVERY thread... thats what its here for f*ck stick.. to respond to it. to discuss it... otherwise the comment section wouldn't exist..

I spend a lot of time on here because Im in the exhibition industry and I like to know all the news, and im a HUGE film fanatic.. and theres no way in hell i can sit in my living room and compare directors careers with my f*cking wife.. are you kidding me?... god that would be a nightmare.. But i CAN come on here and talk to my hearts content about films and media alike... You slandering mink for doing that is slandering every one of us..

Dont be a little bitch man.. how about be a part of the conversation instead.

Yeah, and even though it doesn't really matter, JB is getting higher film scores that Transformers 2. Bay really f*cked up critics-wise with ROTF. But he banked, so I'm sure TF3 is just around the corner.

And now the Hollywood moneymen know what everyone else already knew: Fox cannot carry a movie, not even ass and tit low-budget horror films, so I doubt we will see much of her beyond eye-candy supporting roles.

He got slammed at a Strip Club, in NYC under the 59th st. bridge, Scores[a Strip Club].
The guy who decked him was Zito. J-Claude tried to kick him and slipped, not making contact. Zito punched him. This happend some 5+ years ago. The only film I liked of his was "No Retreat, No surrender". He was the antagonist competitor. Not a major role.

I love reading these posts and seeing all the stupid f*cking idiots who nothing about movies or pretty much anything, trying to talk sh*t against those who actually know things and put damn good posts on this site all the time. And to those "idiots" I mentioned earlier, do some research and then try arguing, maybe you will sound intelligent and people will listen to what you have to say

Speaking of JC, I just love Universal Soldier. Anyone recall the ending? LOL. He's been 'dead' for like 25 years, and he shows up at his parents door, completely unaged, and his parents aren't the least bit dumbfounded or even concerned. They act like someone just delivered the mail. lol. And I tell you, you haven't laughed your ass off until you've watched Replicant with the audio commentary turned on. JC is totally drunk throughout! You can hear him stumbling over words and losing his thoughts. Its hilarious.

Sorry quagmre. You are misinformed. He did not slip. Zito, in a interview after the incident on Howard Stern, which I listened to live, admits he sucker punched Van Damme. Zito also readily admitted that when JC went down, Zito bid a hasty retreat. Zito said he ran out because he knew that if VD got up and used his legshe was dead. Zito said that VD is eceptional with his leg speed. I am not offering this for debate. I listed to the entire interview. I have also seen JC kicking a speed bag at a gym in Baltimore. He was kicking it like boxers punch the bag. Keepin rythmn with his f*cking kicks. This is incredibly hard. I can barely keep rythmn using my fists and have studied for years. Credit where its due people!

Van Damme should have been a masturbation and a stain on some couch. This guy has had original script chances (Universal Soldier & Time Cop - who directly adressed time paradoxes) and with all that - couldn't achieve diarrhea sh*t.
